Only throwing money at people!
Two hundred million?
Why didn't Du Ruoxin go bigger and just say dollars?
"Dollars," Du Ruoxin said nonchalantly.
Her casual demeanor was as if she were saying, "Two bucks for the film you risked your life for."
"Pfft—"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!"
Ivy not only sputtered again but also coughed violently.
She was disgusted by Du Ruoxin. Du Ruoxin was purely insulting her, insulting her with money.
As if she didn't have any!
But precisely—
She just didn't, which was infuriating!
Two hundred million dollars was equivalent to over a billion RMB, over a…
Ivy felt completely unwell, her expression quite varied.
Du Ruoxin glanced at her and said sarcastically, "What, Miss Ai, have you never seen money before?"
"Making a fuss over nothing."
"It's just over a billion, less than a fraction of my annual dividends."
With her family shares and Ning Ni's management of her assets, Du Ruoxin's account had an unknown number of zeros.
Ivy quickly tidied up her embarrassed demeanor and put on a social smile.
To save face and to counter Du Ruoxin's disgust, she smiled and provocatively said, "Miss Du has a lot of money, I naturally know that. Backed by a mysterious family like Rothschild, even as an adopted daughter, her wealth must be incomparable to ordinary people."
"However, by staying by A Jing's side long-term, he will also let me learn and participate in investments worth hundreds of billions."
"Building schools and airports was my idea, I made the connections."
"The reason I'm so shocked is that I always thought Miss Du was an extremely elegant, cultured, and magnanimous person. I never imagined…"
She paused, "Could the failure of your marriage have hit you that hard?"
"People change."
"Didn't A Jing say you had an amicable split?"
With a few light words, Ivy turned the tables, making it seem as if Du Ruoxin was deliberately targeting and humiliating her due to her divorce and jealousy.
The perspective was instantly broadened.
Du Ruoxin was prepared. She had long advised herself and built up her mental fortitude.
She knew Ivy would use Rong Jingyang to attack her, to break her down, to make her lose her composure.
But times had changed. She would no longer shed a single tear or feel a shred of heartache for Rong Jingyang.
"Is that so?" Du Ruoxin's tone remained indifferent. Like a smiling tiger, she subtly struck at the core, "How much did Rong Shi Group pay you for the film?"
"Whatever they offer, I'll double it."
"Oh, right, Miss Ai must have misunderstood me. I've always enjoyed throwing money at people."
"After all, I don't have much of anything, except a lot of money."
"Isn't that infuriating?"
Finally, Du Ruoxin covered her mouth, curled her fingers in a delicate gesture, and laughed maniacally, "Oh ho ho ho."
Ivy: ————
Du, Ruo, Xin!
Du Ruoxin continued with a forced smile, saying, "I presume Rong Shi Group's money isn't solely decided by Rong Jingyang, right?"
"Dou Dou's grandmother is the major shareholder."
"To move hundreds of millions, one needs Dou Dou's grandmother's approval."
"Moreover, Rong Jingyang doesn't have a penny to his name right now."
"To divorce me, he gave me all his cash."
"If you want to compete with me for copyright, you'll have to have Rong Jingyang exchange it for company shares."
"Do you think…"
Du Ruoxin's sharp, amused eyes fixed on Ivy, "Rong Jingyang would exchange Rong Shi Group shares for such a trivial matter?"
"Do you think Dou Dou's grandmother would agree to Rong Jingyang doing such a thing?"
Du Ruoxin's words made Ivy's face turn pale and then flushed, almost losing her composure.
But Ivy was holding back.
Du Ruoxin continued her sarcastic remarks, taunting, "Miss Ai, if I were you, I'd know my place and behave myself like a good grandchild."
"Perhaps if you please me, I can buy the copyright for a few hundred million and then give it to you for free?"
